Unfortunately, you can't pass arrays/lists easily.
TclCL has very good suport for making scalar variables appear
in both tcl and C++, but no bindings for arrays.

You could either study TclCL and add array support (not a lot of code,
but it requires understanding of how binding works) or write a special
command.  Both require that you understand the Tcl C APIs.  The first
would be a very nice general service to provide, it's just that no
one's done it yet.
